As far as ac swaps, it seems to be occuring at an ever increasing pace these days. Used to be, I could fly throught the system in the same plane with maybe one change going through CVG. Now, it seems that at most outstations you are changing planes. I had a 3 day trip a month or so ago that we changed planes every leg.

I have heard that with the coming slot system in JFK that DAL will be reducing many flights out of there. I still can't figure out why the JFK bid packet increased in hours for Feb, with no new crews, and the CVG packet decreased.

I think it's all a conspiracy to make my life hell.
